You’d think that a country with its entire political system based on egalitarianism would be blessed with an outstanding democracy. However, the collapse of Soviet Union and the communism wasn’t too long ago and there seems to be an ongoing debate as to whether modern Russia is a democratic country or not.

Is it? Anyone? Anyone from Russia here?

No. Russia is not a democracy.

C.To what extent can internationalism effectively address contemporary global issues?

You are correct

I live in New York. I go to Public High School. My history textbook reads, on the chapter entitled "Lennon To Stalin To Gorbachev," and i quote, from the "Conclusion" section,

"The Democratic Centralism that Lennon advocated was eliminated when Stalin took power of the Politburo….Stalin’s rule proves that Lennon’s Communist ambitions, that seemed to work well under Lennon, could easily be manipulated and controlled by someone who values power over egalitarianism. … Conservatives [Communists in The USSR] lamented that collectivization and socialism would have worked more efficiently if Lennon’s model would have been followed after his death. …"

Book: World Civilizations, The Global Experience.
I showed it to a member of the "Young Republicans Club" in my school, and he said it was "obviously giving indirect messages to the reader that Communism could work if done in a certain way"

do you agree?
Was there bias?
Fact: I put in the "conservatives are communist" thing to point out the FACT that Conservatives during the time of 1930-Present where the Communists, and the Liberals were the free-market Constitutional democracy-advocates. Don’t be confused: Conservatives in RUSSIA during that time ARE NOT what Conservatives are now, and i didn’t intend to suggest that THAT was the source of the bias. That part, i think, everyone can agree, is pretty factual. Conservatives in THE USSR for most of it’s history were the HARD Communists (Bolsheviks) and the Liberals were either soft Communists (Melsheviks) or, if they dare, somewhat slightly SLIGHTLY Capitalist (especially after Stalin’s death, as seen in Gorbachev and Khrushchev and the sort).
lol the textbook didn’t mispell Lennin, i did, sorry about that. My Firefox automatically corrects Lennin to become Lennon.
I didn’t ask if you agree with it, i asked if you thought it was biased. you can agree with it, and still think it’s biased

Tim,

Socialism works in Europe?

Ask Greece.

Yes, your textbook is biased. All public school textbooks are left-biased.

Is My History Book Biased when it comes to Communism?

It’s Lenin, not Lennon. Both shared the same ideology, though.

Yes, the book is biased. Very much so, and cleverly hidden.
Lenin was every bit as ruthless as Stalin. Probably more. It’s just that he died before he got the chance to show it to the world. There is direct evidence to support that: look at what Lenin allowed his officers to do during the civil war. Communism is 100% central control. Bovine manure to suggest he didn’t know it, or they exceeded their orders.

Stalin was elected over Trotsky, though Trotsky was for more likely the man chosen by Lenin to succeed him. Why? Because he was perceived as a moderate and a bureaucrat. The party itself wanted some time to recover from the horrors of the past.

Communist ambitions work very well under communist leaders. Period. As the USSR just survived a world war, a long civil war and massive starvation, of course it worked well. Just about anything works well under those circumstances.

What your textbook doesn’t say is actually a giveaway: Lenin only granted peasants a private tiny plot and some minute possibilities to grow and sell their own crops because if he hadn’t their wouldn’t have been communists left alive. He didn’t do it because he felt sorry or was benevolent. He did it because he simply didn’t have any other option. Either allow the peasants to become free market operators or let the country die in starvation.

That situation was rectified as soon as possible under Stalin. Those peasant were the Kulags, and they were ruthlessly exterminated or send to the camps. Something Lenin or any other communist leader would have done exactly the same.

the answer is E.

Economically, I learn more to the left side. I like the Health care idea, though I have doubts about if it will work. I like Obama, though he has some questionable actions, but overall I think Democrats give him too much credit and Republicans don’t give him enough.

On the other hand, I have more conservative beliefs Pro Life, Anti drug, Pro religion.

I have a hatred toward a lot of Democratic/liberal beliefs, eg. Modern Feminism (not the same as egalitarianism, which is equality), special rights to minority groups, Red Socialism (not the same as yellow socialism), anti religion (eg people trying to remove "In God we Trust" from money and "One nation Under God" from the pledge), and such.

I’ve never really cared about the rich getting richer and figured I’d be part of the middle class. I think the recent health care bill is a good idea, after I sorted out truth from lies, assuming it works.

Most democrats arent fiscally liberal so yes you can most definetly be a conservative democrat, although right now is a bad time since progressives are in control now and conservatives democrats have been ousted like Bayh, Lincoln, Leiberman. In your case being a fiscal liberal and social conservative, which is rare would be more suited as an independent.

Nepal ended 239 years of royal rule last year, making the Shah dynasty the latest monarchy to tumble. Nepal became a republic soon after. The last time a monarchy was abolished was in May 2007 when Samoa’s king died. There are currently 30 monarchs reigning over 44 extant sovereign monarchies in the world. As we have reached the 21st Century, many people now view monarchy as an archaic system and should have no place in modern society. And even the democratic constitutional ceremonial monarchies are very fragile and in threat of their survival. Because in the 21st century, a political institution, monarchy, which has been around since preliterate man, is on the verge of extinction. In an age of democracy, it is hierarchic; in an age of egalitarianism, it is elitist; in an age of skepticism, it is mystical. So tell me, Do You think it’s time for the remaining monarchies of the World to be abolish and if so, why? Please! I want a straight forward yes or no answer and why. And NOT just that "THEY’RE TRADITION THEY SHOULD BE LEFT ALONE" I NEED A BETTER ANSWER THAN THAT!

Can you debunk these arguments, for all monarchies in general, both absolute AND constitutional:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republicanism_in_the_United_Kingdom#Arguments_in_favour_of_a_republic

1. Monarchy is the opposite of democracy

2. Monarchy denies the people a basic right

3. Monarchy devalues a governmental system

4. The monarchy is religiously discriminatory

5. Monarchy is gender-discriminative

6. A monarchy demands deference

7. A monarchy is the enemy of merit and aspiration

8. It devalues intellect and achievement

9. It harms the monarchs themselves

10. Monarchs are not impartial, and lack accountability

11. The monarchy is expensive

12. The monarchy makes the nation look backwards

13. The monarchy doesn’t represent the country and it’s culture

Please, comment on these facts.
And please no "it’s up to the people in these countries to decide" I have heard about these nations, and they want republics. I want to know what YOU think.

You want something abolished? Monarchies are last on the list of governments that need to be destroyed.
1. Hugo Chavez and his tyrannical and certifiably insane dictatorship (he dressed up a parrot in a mock up of his military uniform and had him on his shoulder during a public speech). He "won" the presidency and then added the extension of the term in office to life. He regularly verbally attacks the United States and her allies. He funds terrorist groups.
2. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his dictatorship. Known for funding, aiding, and training terrorist groups. Masking an obvious nuclear weapons program with laughable false "giving power to my people" propaganda. Also held the US hostages in the 1970’s, yet denies it even with video, photographic, and eye witness proof. Also known to fix elections to remain in power.
3. Kim Jong Il and his laughable country. Maintains his power without elections. Starves his people as well as test fires missiles that are known to be able to carry nuclear warheads.
4. China’s government which forces women to be sterilized. Limits number of children a family can have. As well know for mass genocide killings, torture and arrests for those who speak freely. Also oppression and torture of those in Taiwan.

Those are just a few that I can name off the top of my head. So before Nepal or whatever you think monarchies need to be abolished. Think about those first. Democracy is the best governmental system to date.

Is there any political party in America that is socially/morally conservative but economically liberal/leftist? Sort of like a reverse libertarian?

The main political parties/movements in the USA are the Democratic Party and the Green and various sociaist Parties on the left who generally promote progressive economic policies but libertine social values. The Left universally supports "sexual freedom" and is generally indifferent or even hostile towards religion.

On the Right, the Republican Party and Constitution Party promotes moral conservative values, family values, while being economically oppressive.

The Libertarian wing of the RP, and the LP, promote social liberalism and economic fiscal conservatism.

So the missing component is a party that promotes economic egalitarianism and moral puritanism. For example what sense does it make for Baptist preachers to go to their buddies on Fox News, when Fox is the biggest peddler of "Girls Gone Wild" smut that they are complaining about? Strange bedfellows.

Some Leftwing Christian Democrat parties in Europe promote Social Democrat economics, with Christian morality. And America itself has a long history of Populist rural movements that were far-left economically but Christian puritans socially.

So what is the political party or movement for someone with my values?

Those would be neo-conservatives. Most of them are currently infesting the Republican Party but they seem to be squeezing them out..
